Special Note

This will be the first regional con for the new Lost venue, so we're going to be focusing largely on the motif of personal morality and the theme “How far will you go for victory?”. Please be aware that we'll be stretching the core concepts, but they will remain intact.

Theme

“Man gives indifferent names to one and the same thing from the difference of their own passions; as they that approve a private opinion call it opinion; but they that mislike it, heresy: and yet heresy signifies no more than private opinion.” - Hobbes, Leviathan

Mood

For almost a year now, the Conspiracy of Sticks has been a part of the lives of the Lost. The death of Simon Eris has put its purpose in sharp relief, paranoia has surrounded its mission, and Lost have been meeting in secret with its members, who continue to provide assistance to the Lost without asking for anything in return. What's their angle? Why has Seeley Ogbanje been so consiliatory? And who is in charge of the Splinter Cell that seems to be acting without approval of the rest of the Conspiracy?

Venue Rules

The Lost venue for SERE 2009 uses the Camarilla Global rules addendum, and all appropriately sanctioned materials mentioned therein. Any item not covered in these sources is considered a custom approval item requiring Global approval. All characters will be assumed to have full glamour and willpower for the start of the game.

Proxy Rules

While proxy play is permitted by the Camarilla rules supplements, proxy characters are not allowed for SERE 2009.

Travel Risks

As the IC event is held in Atlanta, it may be important to consider how your character traveled to the IC location. However, no one who shows up should be stopped from playing due to travel risks. Please play and have fun.

Experience

Please see the Universal VSS.
